Eat Local Week 2017 Volunteer Meeting March 8th, 6:30 p.m. at BOLD

We have started planning Eat Local Week 2017! And, based on your feedback from past years, we are changing many things about the process for creating and organizing Eat Local Week events.

To talk about some of those changes, I’d like to invite you to attend a volunteer meeting this Wednesday, March 8, at 6:30 p.m. in our second floor conference space at BOLD, the former location of the HuB, 1680 Fruitville Road, Sarasota. The intent of the meeting is to find out who is willing and able to help organize this year’s Eat Local Week. We have created several committees to help get volunteers involved in the process and we need your help!

Please come out and help transform Eat Local Week into a sustainable and resilient community-organized event.
